Unleash your phone (aka install custom recovery). God has forgotten you edition

RECOVERY GUIDE
Flash signed recovery zip - Easiest way
1. The most common way is to simply flash Phil3759's Enhanced ClockWorkMod Touch.
2. Download the .zip file and copy it to your external sdcard
3. Then, reboot into the stock recovery (power off the phone and turn it on with home button and volume+ button pressed)
4. Choose "install zip from external storage" and select the already mentioned zip
5. Reboot. This should be enough!!
This is the easiest method, thus the followings are meant to be attempted only if you had problems with the previous
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Odin - If you have a computer available
1. If you have any errors try going back to the Phil Download Home and instead download the latest i9100 .tar.md5 file
2. Download Odin 1.85 and unzip the archive
3. Open the executable and add the previously downloaded .md5 into the PDA field
4. Put the phone into Download mode (power off the phone and turn it on with home button and volume- button pressed)
5. Connect it to the computer and wait till drivers installation is finished
6. Start flashing
7. (optional) If you want to remove the yellow triangle, check Chainfire's Triangle Away
Mobile Odin - When you have nothing but errors
0. You'll need Chainfire's Mobile Odin. Show him your gratitude and buy the app if you want! :laugh:
1. Root your phone. If that doesn't work, try "Xperia Root by cubeundcube"
2. Download Dorimanx Kernel (one of the .md5 packages)
3. Open Mobile Odin and grant it root permissions
4. "Open file" and select the .md5 file
5. Follow instructions and go!

I would like to point out i made yet another guide for gs2, because yesterday I went to "unlock" my mum's i9100 and I had a very time

(for providing the latest firmware for SM-J710FN )
Recommended Installation Flow:
FOR OBTAINING ROOT
1. Extract Odin v3.11.1.zip to your computer.
2. Install SAMSUNG_USB_Driver 1.5.61.0 for Odin to find your device.
3. Before flashing is better to go to recovery and do a FACTORY RESET of your phone
4. Reboot your device into Download mode. To do this, select reboot from the power menu and hold the [Volume Down] + [Home] buttons
while your device reboots.
5. Open Odin as an administrator and choose your 4 files
1. BL_ J710FXXU2AQA8
2. AP_J710FXXU2AQA8
3. CP_ J710FXXU2AQA4
4. CSC_J710FOXY2AQA2
6. Wait for Odin to update the files
7. Connect your phone and wait for Odin to see it , then press Start and wait until you will see PASS and your phone will reboot.
8. Wait for the phone to reboot and do a minimum set up basic just to be able to open Developer options ( after rooting with TWRP you will do
again the set up because you will format data to eliminate encryption in order to be rooted)
9. In your ROM, go to Settings -> About device. Tap 7 times on Build number to enable Developer options.
10. Now go to Settings -> Developer options. (above About device)
You need to enable OEM unlock, otherwise you might end up with boot problems or be unable to flash later on.
11. Make sure your don't have Factory Reset Protection enabled in your Google account or you may never be able to boot again!
More information: https://support.google.com/nexus/answer/6172890?hl=en
12. Download the .tar image of TWRP for j7xelte (twrp-3.0.3-1 sm-j710fn).
13. Reboot your device into Download mode. To do this, select reboot from the power menu and hold the [Volume Down] + [Home] buttons
while your device reboots.
Once you reach the Download mode warning screen, press [Volume Up] to continue.
14. Open Odin and place that twrp-3.0.3-1 sm-j710fn tar file in the [AP] slot, under Options tab disable Auto Reboot, then press [Start].
15. Once the flash is complete (Odin should tell you in the log, and progress bar on phone should stop), you can pull the battery then place the
battery back in. Now hold [Volume Up] + [Home] + [Power] buttons until you reach recovery mode.
If you end up in stock recovery, start again from download mode step.
16. At this point, you will reach the screen asking you if you want to allow system modifications.
You will want to swipe to allow, otherwise the OS will replace TWRP once you boot!
17. FORMAT DATA to delete encryption without any patch kernel , the recovery will ask you if you are sure , write yes , and then you will see
there are no errors.
18. To be sure you are safe press DELETE Dalvik cache after FORMAT DATA.
19. Go back to TWRP and on the install choose SuperSU-v2.79-SR2.zip
20. After flash SuperSU-v2.79-SR2.zip you are rooted
21. Go to [Reboot] -> [System].
22. Enjoy the new J710FXXU2AQA8 rooted
Hope you will enjoy the new stock firmware on your J710FN
And for the one who really want all the Samsung crap application to be removed I found and did some changes on a zip made by @TENN3R (Originally made by @ambasadii . Thanks both of you man) and finally come here with this work. Hope you'll love it.
I have tested this zip few times on my device (SM-J710FN) and there's no any fc or issues. So i think it's worth trying.
But as we all say here, I'm not responsible if your device get bootloops, your wife hits you or your dog bites you for some reasons.
Do not forget to hit thanks button
This is made for my personal use of the phone , day by day , and the battery keeps for more than 2 days now.
If you want To know which apps it removes and if you want to keep some system apps, open zip, copy updater script on your pc, open updater script with notepad++, check all apps names one (takes hardly few minutes) and if you want to keep any app in system and don't want to remove it, just remove that whole line. For example, if you want to keep "GoogleContactsSyncAdapter", remove line contains that app name ? runs ("/sbin/rm", "-rf", "system/app/GoogleContactsSyncAdapter"); ? including semicolon same as shown here.
To install the Debloater script :
1. After you complete the setup of your phone with SuperSU-v2.79-SR2.zip
2. Copy J7_710FN_DeBloater2017 on your internal storage
3. Reboot to recovery
4. Flash this zip and wipe dalvik/cache
5. Reboot to system and you'll see that almost all junks is removed.
Please read carefully the installation procedure because I'm not responsible for damage to your equipment or loss of warranty!​
As I said from the description , this stock firmware was made for my personal day to day use .
You have all the software used for this in the zip folder with the full description of the applications removed and how to !!!
Hope you will enjoy !!!
Download SM-J710FN 2017 folder from my MEGA folder and you will find everything you need !!!

Unable to root my Samsung j5

Followed all steps to root phone.
But odin displays Fail (Auth) error. Not sure how to root my phone

Hello. I did root my phone few days ago using Odin, I can help you.
What do you need:
SuperSU ZIP File (For your Android version, to check in Settings -> About device) and copy it to phone memory
TWRP Recovery MD5 File (for Odin) (for your phone model, check in Settings -> About device)
Now steps:
1. Enable OEM Unlock in Developer Options (If not unlocked, Settings -> About device -> Tap "Build Number" 7 times)
2. Open Odin and select AP (maybe PDA)
3. Find your TWRP File and select it
4. Turn off your phone, go to Download Mode (Volume Down, Home and Power buttons), click Volume Up (once)
5. Connect your device to your PC (In Download Mode you need to see Odin Mode!)
6. If in Odin you have seen "Added!" click Start
7. If Odin will fail, try again (I needed to)
8. If you have already flashed TWRP, go to it (Volume Up, Home and Power buttons)
9. Go to Wipe option and swipe to do default wipe.
10. Now click Install, select your SuperSU file.
11. Swipe to do it (Zip authentication disabled!!!!)
12. After it's done, reboot your phone again to your OS.
13. Enjoy your new root!
Optional Step: download Root Checker from Google Play and check your root.
I hope I did help you.
